"Chris' third blog post" or "Chris's third blog post"

Let's talk apostrophes, shall we? And I don't mean, the apostrophes for contractions or possessive ownership. No, I want to talk about the tricky little bastard of a rule for apostrophes when a noun ends with a "S."
See I have lived this plight. My name, or the one I choose to go by, is Chris, which means anytime I want to say something belongs to me, I have to make a huge decision.
Do I add an apostrophe "S" to my name that ends with "S" , "Chris's writing never ceased to horrify young children," like this?
Or do I drop it all together, "Chris' writing never ceased to horrify infants," like this?

The question haunts me.

See, I know that if the word is monosyllabic you add another "S" in the interest of helping the reader pronounce the word correctly.
You can't just say "Chris writing." You have to say, "Chris iz writing." It says so at the BBC. And if you can trust the BBC, then who the hell can you trust about the proper use of English?
However, the majority of the world didn't waste four years of its life studying grammar in college, so I do add the "S" I am always meet with indignation.
They say, "Don't you know, you don't need an apostrophe if the word ends in S. I thought you were an English major. Probably, not a good one."
And sigh. I give up. This fight is one I know I can win, but not without making self into a total asshole, so I let it slide and let the other person have victory even though I know I am right.
I keep tally. It's happened 27 times.
27.

Possible Solutions

• Let this battle go. No one knows the rule anyway, and it's only a matter of time before it becomes as obscure as the oxford comma. Too many people have died for the cause already. It's time to end the bloodshed. (Note: I might have made the last part up for dramatic emphasis.)
• Force everyone to study grammar for four years. And not just this dangling modifier or misplaced participle business. We need to get back to basics, which means going back to Old and Middle English. No one will be allowed to leave the grammar camps until they can recite Beowulf and The Canterbury Tales from memory.
• Stop caring about apostrophes. No one else does, so why should we? We would save ourselves a lot of time and effort from typing that extra symbol. In fact, we can get rid of all superscript elements, so say goodbye to quotation marks as well. Periods and commas had better watch their backs though. They might be next.
• Inform people in a kind way when they misuse grammar if the scenario calls for it. This is the boldest of my ideas, and I think the riskiest. Lovers of grammar would have to let things slide now and then. You wouldn't correct someone every time they said something like, "Me and him are going to the movies." This means we wouldn't have to worry so much about apostrophes, but could still point out when people use them wrong in a formal paper or when the error results in confusion.

The Reality
Alas, I think most of us would probably die if we couldn't correct others. The world would be thrown into chaos with apostrophes to mark whose stuff belongs to who. Lawmakers would never approve the grammar camps us English majors dream of.
It looks like time will have its way with the extra "S," and we will have to mourn the rule alongside the oxford comma.
